Peter Ford, better known as Baby Ford, is a British electronic music producer, known particularly for his contributions to the birth of acid house. He has also released material under the aliases Cassino Classix, El Mal, Solcyc, and Simprini Risin'.
Ford was influenced by Chicago musicians such as Marshall Jefferson, Ron Trent, Armando, and Larry Heard, and was one of the founders of the acid house scene in the United Kingdom.[1] His early work was released on Rhythm King, including the club tracks "Oochy Koochy", and "Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh". These two first singles appeared on the 2x12" EP "Ford Trax" (BFORD3.)
Both appeared in remixed form on the EP and the original singles were remixed on a variety of different formats (12" and CD) and energized the burgeoning UK acid-house scene. Sire Records in the US signed Baby Ford as well as several other artists on the Rhythm King label. Sire had been impressed with the label, but reportedly had concerns about how to effectively market Rhythm King artists in the U.S. as acid house had not broken into the US mainstream as it had in the UK. The second album 'Ooo the World of Baby Ford' contained three singles, the most popular of which was "Children of the Revolution." "Children" was a club hit across the globe, as was "Beach Bump." The US released the "Let's Talk It Over" EP in 1990 with exclusive live tracks. The tracks were recorded on Baby Ford's tour of the US, where he opened for Depeche Mode on several dates of their Violator tour.
Vinyl rip at 192 Kbps. I fucked up. If enough people complain, I'll re-rip at 320 Kbps.

Thanks Nolan, for this nice piece of music history. However, the files were ripped at 192kbps instead of the usual 320.
I'm not complaining! I loved it anyway!
Duh! Sorry Paulo X (and everyone. This is all about me configuring the setting on the new Mac. I'll get there. If I get three more requests, I'll re-rip this in 320 Kbps.
I seem to remember in it's original mix Oochy Koochy had a tendancy to blow speakers.
Up there with Voodoo Ray for me as an early UK dance classic.
320 would be nice, but you won't catch me complaining
Yes ! 320 kbps ! Baby ford deserve 320 kbps !
I loved this. Please count this as a request for a 320 rip =D
I don't want to complaign cause you're very cool
But i think a rip @ 320 will be needed for this one
Many thanks
Amanda
£3.29 seems like a bargain price
